... another new game, another announcement that they'll be nickel-and-diming us.

This automatically means I won't be buying it at full-price.

The industry has really stooped to a new low this generation when it comes to GREED.

DarkBlood4334d ago (Edited 4334d ago )

at this point it really shouldnt be a suprise to anyone this will always happen with multiplatform games since this gen started till the day we choose to die

Afterlife4334d ago

Your not going to buy any game at full price anyway. What game doesn't have dlc?

Information Minister4334d ago

I completely agree with Yi-Long. I was on the fence about this game, but now there's no way I'll pay $60 or $70 for it.

What happened to developing the best game you possibly can, releasing it, and THEN start thinking about DLC?

Deadpool6164334d ago

This game has already been through development hell, so there's no excuse for this day 1 DLC crap to be happening. Focus on making the main game.

Getting a game should be structured like being served at a restaurant. You have you appetizer (pre-order content, poster, a art book, dvd etc.) You get the main course (the game) which should be delicious and satisfying. Afterward's you have the option of getting dessert(DLC).

You don't serve a meal with the dessert at the same time. Wait until the costumer finishes the main course. If the main course is terrible, or has bugs in it (gitches) then why would they want to stick around for dessert(DLC)?

Where's the Logic this game generation?!

*breathes for blind disagrees coming this way*

I hope this game doesn't even sell a million copies. No seriously, I hope Konami suffers some sort of loss with this one so they'll know that we don't want "lightening bolt action" dipped in MGS title.

What the hell is wrong with devs these days? Capcom killing their SF franchise with all their cross overs and annual editions. Capcom again with their Resident Evil bullshit. Square Enix milking FF and not releasing the ones gamers so eagerly want (Versus), Activision with their annual COD games and oh the list can go on and on...

We need "proper sequels" not junk and we can show the finger to these devs by not supporting these rehashed twisted half baked games with our wallets.

Game of the Year edition? Haha, nice joke. Wait, you aren't serious are you? :O

DarkBlood4334d ago

goty, complete, ultimate collection or whatever

i think you get the point sir.

Braid4334d ago

Yep, I know what you mean. But GOTY editions are a completely different story. You can't publish a game under that title unless you get some GOTY awards from some of the famous and credible gaming authorities. What you mean is a complete edition, which is possible.

DarkBlood4334d ago

oh ok well i just seem to recall a game getting the goty slapped onto its case that wasnt a goty awarded title

but with so many editions out there i kind of get lost in it lol

GarandShooter4334d ago

@ Braid

'You can't publish a game under that title unless you get some GOTY awards from some of the famous and credible gaming authorities.'

Is that a law? Please provide links backing your assertion.

Sargerus4334d ago

@Braid,then explain to me how Dead Island has a GOTY Edition?

Angrymorgan4334d ago

Hey guys, we've made this awesome game with loads of characters and weapons and stuff......but, what were gonna do is break the FINISHED product up into little pieces so we can rob the SHIT out of you.
Then to top it off, well have the audacity to announce EXACTLY what were gonna do to you loyal fans.

NOT COOL!

Haha1234334d ago

This really gets me p*ssed off!! announced DLC BEFORE a game is even released, hell this game isn't even out until 2013 so this content best be on the bloody disc for free!

Megaton4334d ago

Very little can turn me off to a game more than being told they'll be parting it out for DLC before it even releases.

SageHonor4334d ago

Agreed, I was considering this game but now i wont get it day one

Ravenor4334d ago

Reading, I know it's a weird and rare skill.

“However we do have plans for some download content after the release from the game that will allow you to play maybe as a different character or some new missions.”

The games slated for Early 2013, it's not un reasonable for planning to begin on DLC.

Megaton4334d ago (Edited 4334d ago )

Your attempt at being witty was cute and all, but my point makes sense as a response to your quote. Announcing DLC plans for a game that isn't even releasing until next year. It's not a good look. Where's the disconnect for you?

Ravenor4334d ago

Sure, if they said parts of the game are being pulled out and given an extra coat of polish for a pre release DLC release. Then yeah, you're comment is right on point.

You're just making a bad assumption.

Kos-Mos4334d ago

But you people who are complaining are still buying the games bloody hypocrites. If the consumers don`t buy games with this bullcrap it will stop. Of course there are many people who don`t understand the industry, but we can at least try to make a revolution. Spread the word and fight cockroaches.

Moby-Royale4334d ago (Edited 4334d ago )

No.....

Saying "I'm not buying the game at full price/day one". Then doing that exactly what you said you would do does NOT make somebody a hypocrite.

I understand what you were attenpting to say though.

By me(us) waiting for price drops we can cut their money in half.

I'm not going to deprive myself of a gaming experience just to prove a point.

The only person I am hurting is myself.

That does NOT make me a "hypocrite" my friend.

Like another user already said and you already know: Every game does this nowadays.

What should we do? Never buy a game again?

No.

So you wait for a price drop and send a message. It's the only productive thing we can do.

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

masterfox324d ago

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion323d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken323d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501322d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken322d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992323d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion322d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

gold_drake323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic323d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne323d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B323d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
